Ray Ban New Wayfarer Tortoise shell

[Baron Kurtz]

I have a pair of Ray Ban New Wayfarer tortoise shell finish sunglasses that don't suit me - too big for my face. The Wayfarer is a very classic design; it just isn't for me, alas. I've been meaning to sell them for several years, just never got round to it. On the leg it states "RB2132 NEW WAYFARER 902 55/18". the 55 is the size of the lenses (55mm across). Not sure what the 18 represents. They measure 14.3 cm across the top from leg to leg.

They are several years old and in excellent shape - the lenses are sound, if in need of a clean and just a couple tiny normal wear scratches on the legs. There is no documentation and no case/box etc, but these are official Ray Bans. They retail for about £100-£120; i'll sell them for £50. PM with interest. Shipping will be extra.

RayBans are one of the few brands I know that do several widths in their sunglasses.... 55 definitely means they're suited for those with a wider face shape - my Shuron Ronsirs are a fairly average size, I think, and my lenses are 48s....

Yeah, I think my Ronsirs are 46 or 45. And they're even a bit big for my face.

The 18 is the size of the bridge, 18mm.
